Card-type I/O modules with aviation plug interface are used in shoe production lines

Solution November 5, 2025

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The shoes we wear make that first step more secure. Shoes have evolved throughout history, with materials changing from straw to plastics, leather, and more. Following the pace of technology, shoe manufacturing has progressed from entirely manual labor to automated, intelligent production lines

The variety of shoe types necessitates differences in shoe-making processes. Currently, shoe-making processes mainly include adhesive bonding, vulcanization, injection molding, compression molding, and sewing. The commonly used hiking shoes, athletic shoes, and casual athletic shoes are primarily manufactured using injection molding

Injection molding process

In the injection molding machine, the material is first compressed, then plasticized (solid plastic is transformed into fluid), homogenized, and then the fluid plastic is injected into the mold cavity of the shoe through the injection channel of the mold. After cooling, the molded product is obtained

Solution

The AU7 877-PNT22-HAP with an aviation connector can easily reduce the impact of machine vibration in shoe manufacturing processes. During injection molding, the AU7 831-7PF22-H and AU7 831-7VC22-H receive signals from thermocouples and sensors, transmitting data to the PLC. Precise temperature and injection volume data can better ensure product quality

Application effect

stable communication

When the customer's workstation vibrates, the D-Code interface helps. The D-Code interface ensures stable bus communication and signal transmission, reducing the impact of workstation vibration

Improve efficiency

During program debugging, the AU7 877-PNT22-HAP offers selectable analog ranges of 32000 and 27648, allowing customers to choose the appropriate range based on their needs, thus reducing debugging time. For later maintenance, the pluggable terminals eliminate the need for rewiring, minimizing production downtime
